Meh. I think it really sucks they ditched Jesse as the PC and I lost all interest in it. So unless she becomes the PC again later no one's doing to convince me to buy it.

It actually pisses me off that they created such a popular and interesting female main character and then immediately zapped her for a literal manbaby. Meanwhile captain monotone Alan Wake and generic angry guy Max Payne both get franchises to themselves. Remedy can get effed as far I'm concerned.

    Jesse is in the game, fyi. You just don't control her.

    I've only played a couple hours so far so I really don't know, but it seems like she might play a large role in the story.

    I know she plays a role in the story but I really enjoyed playing as her and don't want to reward remedy for ditching her. I'm glad you're enjoying it, however I'm just not interested in control anymore.. which sucks because it was a unique game.

    Maybe someone will make a mod that swaps Jesse and Dylan haha

    I think I get why they did it. It sort of mirrors the "one sibling is (possibly?) in trouble and it's up to the other sibling to get to the bottom of it and find/help/whatever them" that they did in the first game.

    I personally kind of agree that I'm not really a big fan of Dylan and would have prob preferred to keep playing as Jesse. At least not yet. I'm gonna put a tiny bit of faith in the devs that this opinion will change as I play through the story.

    Makes me kind of think about how furious people were about The Last of Us pt. 2 when they find out they have to play half the game as Abby. A character that the events of the beginning of the game push you to absolutely despise.

    But when you give the game a chance to show you what it's trying to do... Goddamn it was a masterpiece. I was full-on weeping for like the last 4 hours straight of that game.

    So I dunno, I'm gonna put a little trust in the devs hoping that they know what they're doing with the main character swap.
